I see its for sale at Buy.com, Zipzoomfly, a couple other places from a google search, was wondering if anyone bought one and what they thought of it. I kind of like the looks of it and the slightly smaller size.
 
They started selling them at Newegg. Looks nice but I didn't realize it only takes MicroATX. Pretty big for a micro case IMO but it looks awesome. Anyone know any great 775 microATX boards that will decently overclock a Q6600?

Yep, Asus P5E-VM HDMI. Check the thread in small form factor systems subforum.
 
Nice looking case but I agree that it is a bit large. Tad expensive, too.
 
It's kinda sad when the regular P180's are cheaper than the mini ones...

I would have considered a mini one with the Asus P5E-VM board... but the cost of the case is ridiculous for it's size...
 
Way too expensive IMO since you can get the bigger P182 for $105 from Microcenter.

And it's the size of a standard ATX case too. Not exactly a small case.
 
It's *relatively* small. I'll stop by microcenter and take a pic of it next to some regular cases. It's not the size of the p180, but it's also not the size of a lanboy
 
I personally think it is a cool case... If I need another case for a 3rd build, I'm highly considering this one.
 
I always hate mATX cases.

So little room to work with!
(I can already feel the soon to be cuts on my hands!)

The mini-P180 is actually the same size as the Nine-Hundred case (not nearly as deep, but height is nearly identical). It's by no means small.
 
I just finished building my new machine w/ it...
It's actually really roomy inside for a mATX case since the overall size is close to a midtower...
Put a P5E-VM HDMI w/ 8800GT along w/ X3320 cooled by ThermalRight 120 Extreme and Noctua 120mm, so quite I actually can only tell it's on by looking at the status white led in the front...
No doubt top notch quality by Antec!
 
Personally I find mATX case like this pointless. Aren't ppl gettin mATX for the smaller size? There are plenty of compact mATX cases out there with good airflow for cheaper. This thing is as tall and wide as standard towers.
 
I saw this case at Microcenter over the weekend. As soon as a mATX board with SLI comes out, this case is mine.
